Changes and challenges for the Chinese programs

Online teaching is not the same as in-person teaching; the enrolment numbers of our first- and second-year Chinese coursers are declining. Our student body is more suitable C-level (i.e., 3rd year) and beyond; hence we started to have an English and Chinese Translation minor program courses since fall 2014 (NOT included in the data above).
